Of the Red, the Light, and the Ayakashi Tsuzuri | Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino - Goldfish Walkthrough + CG Clean-Up

As stated in my very recent come back post, there hasn't been any guides out for this game - at least not a proper/complete one in English. I have found one in Vietnamese (PC), one in English (PC), and the last one in Japanese (PSP) courtesy of a post on Reddit. The Japanese guide is probably the most complete out of the three mostly because the Switch (and Steam) versions and the platform it was ported from are the same in terms of content, But just using DeepL/Google Translate, I found that there were times that the translated text were kind of hard to decipher so I had to cross-reference it with the previous two I found so I also have to give them credit.

Ending a 5-year Hiatus

My CG Completionist rosette customized by Yume Holic

Hi! It's been a really long time and if you're surprised I'm doing a revival for this blog, then you're not alone as I'm also surprised at myself for deciding to do this rofl. It's been five long years (pre-COVID time!) since I last posted, and honestly I'm not that inclined to post my thoughts as much as I did many years ago.

Cinderella Phenomenon - Otome/Visual Novel

I got to play this game around last month while I was grinding to tier on UtaPri Shining Live. Lately, grinding on SL can range from taxing to tedious, or both. To lessen the feel of that burden, I play it in front of my PC and either play a visual novel or read manga online at the same time.

Supposedly, I was to review Amnesia -Memories- because that was the otome game that I played after Nicole, to which was the last game that I did a review in this blog. When I finally found the motivation to write a blog post, I found myself wanting to make a write up on Cinderella Phenomenon. I do have to warn you that I still feel a bit lazy, so I’m just putting it out there that the game synopsis and character descriptions are copy-pasted from this site. The rest will be my own opinions, so yeah.

I am also going to letting you know that I will talk about some stuff that may or may not be spoilers for the reader, so (mild) Spoilers Ahead!

A Return from Nowhere

Cute Jizo statues I found in Kiyomizu-Dera last April <3

It’s been such a long time since I last posted on my blog – not just a random blog post, but a lengthy, wordy, one. I have to admit, though, that my interests lately wane fast. I find myself being interested in too many things that often times I don’t dwell on stuff as much as I would have a couple of years ago in order to go to the next thing that I want done. In some way, I am still a hoarder of things: in this case, this involves interests, anime, games, books, and sleep. In other words, I have too many things to do and what have I done? ;_;

Nicole (Otome Game)

Heys! It's been such a long time; thought I would make a blog entry °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

First and foremost, I would like to say that I won't be making any updates on the Hakuoki games on iOS/Android and PS3. You can send me a message for help about it though (as I've been getting some recently) and I'll gladly help you to the best of my knowledge.

Sooo after not getting over my FFXV hype yet, I got this game this month and played for a week in order to finish it. I've been eyeing this game on Steam among several others, but I think I kind of got motivated to get and play this game.

Synopsis from Steam:

Nicole is thrilled that she managed to get into her first choice school and is looking forward to experiencing college life there. However, as soon as she moves into the university dorms, she finds out that there’s been a series of mysterious disappearances going on around the campus! So far, three girls have already gone missing and Nicole could be next if she’s not too careful – not quite the ideal college experience Nicole had in mind.

Hakuoki on iOS/Android

Soooo there has been an activity at Okita's post (walkthrough/guide) at the comments section and my curiosity got the better of me. I decided to download the iOS/Android version of this game on both my iPad and android phone, but then decided to play it on my iPad since it runs smoother. (Don't get me wrong though, I'm a huge android user!) However, I was kind of dismayed that you have to make several purchases in order to get all the routes, and it's really not that exciting to purchase a game that you already know the content about.

I was having doubts about playing the game since I already bought the PS3 version which I have yet to play through, so I decided to contact the game publisher to get things clear. Basically, I asked them to compare the game content in terms of story, extras, and other unlockables from the PS3 and iOS/Android versions. Here's what they replied:

Interesting. ( ★ω★)

And now, the story begins. Mou ichido.٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ

I'm Alive~! Here's Hakuoki to Celebrate!

Am I still alive? Why yes, very much so. Juggling in-between full-time and part-time work, love life, finalizing wedding plans, watching anime, reading manga and books, watching GoT, finding companions in Journey and saving Cocoon, I'd very much like to die now, thank you very much. With things going as they are, my schedule's going to be even more hectic from now on. Just. Kill. Me. Now. x_x

Here's the official trailer for Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi to make all fangirls happy. I'm late in updating, but better late than never. Then again, I'm not too entertained by how they recycled scenes from the anime and the original game. I will be buying the game, though. I'd like to buy the limited edition, but I have to admit that the package doesn't look that tempting. Just give me SSL and I'll shut up complaining.

(WTF YT deleting videos again @___________@)

New Hakuoki Game!

Okay, I have to admit that the announcement for this new game isn't entirely new since the news came out sometime late October 2013. "oTL

I happened to stumble across this title at the Aksys website since I was trying to find some updates on the SSL game. 'Lo and behold, this game came up.

Hakuoki: SSL

Here's one hoping that Aksys will release this game soon. For PSP I hope, since I don't have a PSVita ;_;

Still Hanging On

with all my work schedule and other stuff, i'm surprised i'm still alive D: last month, i got an office job somewhere. it's okay and all, but it's so faraaaawaaaaay ~_~

the only thing that's possibly keeping me sane right now is my juggling between spending time with my significant other, watching animu, watching manga, and playing this awesome game 8D it's been awhile since i've played any RPG and the storyline seems pretty decent, plus i got this legit at a discounted price. thank you Steam sale! （*´▽｀*）

going to blog on my recap and that review on Hakuoki game soon. when i have time that is (。┰ω┰。)

Game Time

(please excuse the dirty analog stick. i don't see the point of cleaning it atm when i'm not done playing with the game. plus, i have to constantly use it to move around in-game ~(>_<~))

it's been awhile that this game was released, but i got some extra time off and am now playing this game (yay)!

i'm not entirely sure that i'll make a guide out of this game since it's a lot unlike the first Hakuoki game, and, looking around the net, there isn't that much guides made. i'll just see what happens depending on my mood.

New Hakuoki Game Coming Soon

Do I hear fangirls screaming?

So, apparently this game is coming out next month (Febuary 19 to be exact); a year after Hakuoki Demon of the Fleeting Blossom came out. I'm not sure if I can play or get the game right after it's released (since my PSP broke down and I have to get it repaired ~_~ plus tons of things to get done), but I'm definitely keeping an eye out for this!

Yo-Jin-Bo: The Bodyguards

I have this annoying habit of reading random blog posts even though my mind is already set on making a blog entry. It's like facing a blank page with the icon blinking, ready for me to type, but then I click several links from my blog roll call, read, and -- oh look, buttons!

Saying Goodbye to Humanity

Cropped picture :P

Going to quit on World of Warcraft for awhile to play Diablo 3 with friends. I am such a nerd =.=

I was going to post the original photograph but then I'm not really sure if my friend on the left would give his consent. So to be on the safe side, cropped picture it is. XD

I'm off to save the world!

It's Not Safe

Looks awesomes... CAN'T WAIT!

Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom - Chikage Kazama's Route

Chikage Kazama's route is basically a combination of Okita's, Harada's, Heisuke's, and some of Saito's routes so it's a bit confusing which of the choices you have to make. Without a guide, it's difficult to know which ones you have to pick since there's a chance that Kazama's chapters won't be unlocked in order to finish his story line.
